I agree with mj2sexay (although he or she really needs a new username).

It’s one of those “they’re only the Panthers, we did have a 3-0 lead, we just collapsed” situations where it might be best to just erase the game from the team’s memory and start anew.

I agree 100%. It starts making you realize how important Stevens really was to this team. He would NEVER let this happen. The Devils’ mental approach has to change if they want to win this series.

That’s another win for the Panthers right there!

I love Marty but he let in two absolute softies tonight. Then again, there was so much else wrong with this game, I could see why DeBoer feels the need to press the reset button and not make any major changes. From not being able to win a face-off at seemingly any point, to horrible officiating, scapegoating Marty by sitting him down in Game 4 doesn’t make sense when the goalie was but a spoke on the wheel of calamity and misfortune.

Parise’s comment about the team going into the locker room up 3-2 and feeling like they were losing is really telling. At some point, SOMEONE be it the coaching staff, the captain, the 100 million dollar superstar, the steady veteran that’s been here for two cups, or the Hall-of-Fame goaltender need to rally the troops.
